JOHN ROBERTSON

John is a TV presenter, columnist, multimedia artist, games designer, crowd-surfer and recreational sadist.

He first came to public attention in 2003, when he went down to Australian Idol and faked a seizure on national television.

In 2012, he created “The Dark Room”, a viral YouTube hit-turned-live show, which now tours the world as a theatre show and corporate entertainment.

In 2013, he left his beloved Wai-Con (Australia’s best anime convention) and moved to the UK.

As of 2014, he co-hosts Sky’s “Videogame Nation”, the UK’s only dedicated gaming TV show.

From 2008 – 2010, he was the Australian tour support for Mark Watson, Wayne Brady and Rob Schneider, before making his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2010.

His show that year, “A Nifty History of Evil” won the Critic’s Choice Award at the Wild West Comedy Festival, established his UK cult following and brought him to the front page of the BBC News website.

His 2011 Fringe shows, “Dragon Punch!” and “Blood & Charm: Disturbing Stories for Disturbing Bedtimes” solidified that cult and added to his awards, with “Dragon Punch!” taking out Best Show at the Wild West Comedy Festival that year.

2012’s “The Dark Room” was an Edinburgh smash, leading to commissions for web content from Hat Trick Productions and PIAS International.
